Heiner Lobenberg über:
Chianti Classico Gran Selezione San Lorenzo 2013
93–94+ /100
Lobenberg: Nur bestes Lesegut von den hochgelegenen Lagen des Weinguts bilden die Grundlage des Chianti Classico Riserva. In seiner Dichte und dem tanninreichen Fruchtschmelz an Brunello erinnernd. Eine zartere und finessereichere Antwort auf Fontodis Vigna del Sorbo, ein Gegenspieler des Anfiteatro von Vecchie Terre. Zurecht von Kritikern und Liebhabern gefeiert. Dunkle Kirschen, Minze und Gewürze. Ein angenehmes Säuregerüst verleiht der Riserva Charakter. Ein enormes Potenzial. 93-94+/100

Suckling über:
Chianti Classico Gran Selezione San Lorenzo
-- Suckling: Tight and super silky with a gorgeous density and precision that gives great polish to the tannins. Makes them almost dusty. Lots of subtle dark berry, mineral and spice. Drink or hold. 95/100
94 /100
Winespectator über:
Chianti Classico Gran Selezione San Lorenzo
-- Winespectator: There's purity to the cherry, strawberry, floral and spice aromas and flavors is this red, which is firmly structured yet elegant and graceful, with sweet fruit matching the dusty tannins on the lingering finish. Best from 2018 through 2028. 180 cases imported. BS 94/100
93 /100
Parker über:
Chianti Classico Gran Selezione San Lorenzo
-- Parker: The 2013 Chianti Classico Gran Selezione San Lorenzo is 80% Sangiovese with Merlot and Malvasia Nera. Castello di Ama did not make any of its top shelf wines in 2012, so it is great to see them all return in 2013 (with the more prestigious Gran Selezione status, nonetheless). This is an elegant and profound wine that offers plump red fruit with a distinctive touch of milkiness that comes off as chocolate or aged cheese rind. The ensemble is distinctive and reflective of the Gaiole in Chianti sub zone that is a bit cooler and more rustic than its neighboring areas. 93/100
